Tunisian President Kais Saied has appointed Social Affairs Minister Kamel Madouri as the country's new Prime Minister, replacing Ahmed Hachani.
The announcement was made by the president's office on Wednesday, with the decision coming just two months before the presidential elections scheduled for October 6, where Saied is expected to seek a second five-year term.
The Tunisian presidency did not provide further details on the reasons behind the change. Kamel Madouri, born in 1974, has been serving as the Minister of Social Affairs since May 25, 2024, following a partial government reshuffle. Prior to this role, he held the position of chairman of the National Health Insurance Fund.
Madouri's appointment as Prime Minister marks a significant shift in the Tunisian government during a critical period as the country prepares for the upcoming elections. (ILKHA)
